KKV LULEÅ

Residency programme.
KKV Luleå offers one paid residence a year. The residence programme is a production based programme. We like to give the selected artist the opportunity to work in our many workshops, fully equipped with machinery and we are interested to invite artists to have the opportunity to work in our well-equiped workshops, giving them the chance to get involved in an international context. 

The selected artists, once introduced to the spaces, equipment and materials, will work independently according to their needs and interests.

If you would like to come and work in our space, without a residencie, you are welcome to stay and pay for your accommodation and to to use the workshop studios. Please contact us if this would be interesting for you. We charge a very low rate.
